...and make no mistake. This type of behavior is being encouraged by the President and the leaders within his party. This guy is basically just parroting the same crap that comes out of Harry Reid's mouth on a daily basis. The dangerous part of this is that Reid, Pelosi, Obama, etc. use this irresponsible rhetoric, and then their lunatic base of supporters hear it, get inflamed, and then go out and act like morons looking for someone that dares support a Republican to take out their anger on.
And the amazing thing is, they have the gall (or ignorance) to call conservatives and Tea party patriots names like neanderthals. Can anyone say "projection?"

Is this the part that makes you mad? The part where the opposing sides can find some common ground? The part where they can be decent human beings and not call each other names all the time? I know it's not as fun when a Dem is nice and polite, and doesn't fit the demeaning narrative you like so much, but it seems really odd that you focus on the one lunatic amongst a group of nice, normal people.

In fact, as Greater McLean Republican Women’s Club president Anne Gruner was setting up her table Friday, laying out her “Women for Ken” stickers and fact sheets, a man walking by suddenly swooped close to her face and started screaming, cursing and calling her a “terrorist.”
None of her comrades had arrived yet, but before you could say, ‘Sir, you are no gentleman,’ here came the “Smart Women 4 McAuliffe.” Democratic volunteer Patricia Scott told the guy to get lost — and after circling back to lob a few last threats, he did.
Scott said that Gruner had saved her own bacon by telling the man she was calling the police: “Just by saying that, she deterred him.” But Gruner, understandably shaken by the incident, insisted otherwise: “These Democratic ladies ran to my defense! We have different views, but we get along maybe better than the people on Capitol Hill.”
Maybe?
